A Korean retinal anti-aging serum from KSecret — 58% Black Ginseng (Panax Ginseng Root Extract) as the base, paired with Retinal Liposome 2% encapsulated in tiny spherical liposomes for gentler, more stable delivery than standard retinal. Suitable for sensitive skin. Fragrance-free. Free of harsh alcohols, parabens, sulfates, silicones, and common allergens. PM use only.

• Retinal Liposome 2% — Gentler, More Stable Retinal — retinal is the most effective over-the-counter retinoid, converting to retinoic acid in the skin faster than retinol. Encapsulated in liposomes, it delivers the active more efficiently while significantly reducing the dryness, peeling, and irritation typical of standard retinal. A better entry point for retinal beginners and sensitive skin types.
• 58% Black Ginseng (Panax Ginseng Root Extract) — Antioxidant + Collagen Support — leads the formula at 58%, making it the base of the serum rather than a supporting ingredient. Black ginseng is one of Korea's most revered anti-aging botanicals — rich in ginsenosides that stimulate collagen production, combat oxidative stress, improve skin elasticity, and reduce inflammation.
• Bakuchiol + Niacinamide — Plant Retinoid Support + Even Tone — Bakuchiol is a plant-derived retinoid alternative that works through similar pathways without sun sensitivity risk — often layered with retinal to amplify anti-aging results. Niacinamide brightens uneven tone, minimizes pores, and controls sebum rebound after retinal use.
• Stable Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) + Tocopherol — Brighten + Protect — stable Vitamin C brightens and fades hyperpigmentation without irritation. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) neutralizes free radicals and protects the retinal from oxidative degradation — keeping the active stable and effective.
• Peptide Complex + Adenosine + Macadamia Oil + Cholesterol — Firm + Nourish + Barrier — a growth factor peptide complex supports cellular renewal and skin recovery. Adenosine is Korean FDA-approved for wrinkle improvement. Macadamia Oil and Cholesterol nourish and seal the barrier — keeping skin comfortable during the retinal adjustment period.
